Guest Reviews

• Sarah (10/5): - Feine Lage Sehr sauber Bequeme Betten Nichts
• Michael (10/5): -
• Warren (9/5): Great place to stay and meet other travellers. - Nice staff, very clean and has everything you need for your stay in KK. The location is near to Imago Mall as well as local restaurants nearby. There are lockers to secure your things safely, washing machine and dryer and all the essentials you need. Nothing. All good.
• Renske (10/5): - Alles! Het personeel is fantastisch, super gastvrij, lief, behulpzaam. Vooral als je het geluk hebt om Eli te mogen ontmoeten <3 De wc's en badkamers zijn erg schoon. De gemeenschappelijke ruimtes ook, alles wordt dagelijks schoongemaakt. De bedden lagen heerlijk, airco op de kamer. De woonkamer is chill. Nog nooit in zo'n fijn hostel verbleven. Absolute aanrader voor iedereen! Helemaal niks :)
• Patrick (9/5): -
• Lisa (10/5): - Very cosy, great atmosphere, insanely comfortable beds, two pillows of different softness! If I would return to KK I would definitely stay here again!
• MIJEONG (10/5): - 직원분이 친절하시고 시설이 깨끗했어요. 시원하고 쇼핑센터와 가까이 있어 걸어서 다닐 수 있어요. 공항과 가까워 반대로 메인스트리트와는 거리가 있더라구요.
• Borin (10/5): -
• Helen (8/5): Great stay, beautiful private room - Solo traveller at 40 and booked a private room. The room was beautiful with hanging space, lots of pillows air con, mirror and desk. The hostel itself was also great, with shared fridge, microwave and hot water facilities as well as a bread/toast and spreads available for breakfast. Tea and coffee also available. The bathrooms were constantly being cleaned and we're spotless. Credit to the staff member who was always on top of it. Small smoking/vaping enclosed balcony too which was handy to have have to keep going downstairs. The only downside was the bed as it was incredibly hard. I have herniated discs so appreciate harder beds over soft but this was super hard and had me sleeping on the pillows. Which luckily there were four of and super comfy. A thin mattress topper may rectify it.
• Salomé (10/5): -
• Cerasela (7/5): - Great location Small reception area so it gets really really loud, the rooms are also not sound proofed
• Haruto (10/5): コタキナバルならここ一択!って言いたいくらいおすすめです - スタッフの方々はとても親切で、メッセージにもすぐに返信してくれます。 これまで世界各地のホステルに泊まってきましたが、トップレベルに清潔で充実した設備だと思います。 全くありません!
• Kelen (10/5): -
• La Vera (10/5): It's a very homey place to stay. - The entire place was lovely and always clean. The staff is very helpful. I love that we had to leave our shoes outside to keep the place clean. Free breakfast of bread, choice of spread and coffee/tea was available until 2 pm. There are about 5 shared toilet and bathrooms but the vibe to respect shared spaces makes living with other guests from other countries worthwhile. The location is close to the mall and 24/7 food establishments. Nothing. The place is cool. There's nothing to not like.

• David (10/5): -
• Henry191 (9/5): -
• HONGKUN (9/5): - There is a small kitchen and refrigerator available for guests to use It's probably because it's close to the airport; I can hear it both morning and evening
• Ajda (10/5): - I liked everything. Very clean, super nice furniture, plenty of showers and toilets (always clean). Very nice staff. Good check-in instructions. They even kindly let us stay for a couple of hours after check-out time, since our flight was a bit later in the day. I really recommend this place.
• Yueh Yang (10/5): -
• Alb R (9/5): Muy practico y recomendable - Camas muy cómodas. Esta situado cerca del aeropuerto y al lado de un centro comercial con todas las comodidades. Pudimos aparcar el coche relativamente fácil y cerca del alojamiento. El desayuno es básico, aunque es correcto.
• Alb R (9/5): Buena opcion - Todo bien. Habitación con literas de construcción, muy amplias y cómodas. Desayuno básico.

• Georgii (10/5): One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed and the best in KK 💯🫶🏻 - • Very clean • Very cozy • The staff is super friendly • I’ve been staying here for about 2-3 weeks and it feels like home • You can use kitchen here to cook • The location is good too, there are many nice and healthy restaurants nearby • Good and affordable laundry • And the main reason I fancy that place: other people staying here are awesome 🤩 Much love 🧡 • The laundry dryers make air not so nice during the day. • The vacuum cleaners are quite noisy. • In the most basic rooms could be curtains. • Could be more proteins, fruits & veggies for breakfast to make it healthier.
• Isabelle (10/5): Au top 👌 - Tout, confort, propre, wifi au top, grands casiers qui ferment, personnel, possibilité de faire la lessive, de se faire à manger. Bien situé. Prise près du lit avec lumière. Clim Rien. Je pense que c’est le meilleur hostel de tout mon trip et j’y suis revenue 3x
• Lena (10/5): - Sehr sauberes und schönes Hostel
• SATHISH (10/5): - Location Small area
• TZU CHUN (9/5): -
• Sabryna (10/5): géniale - c’était parfait! sachez qu’en venant ici vous allez être dans un logement propre le ménage est fait chaque jour, et y’a pleins de choses sympathiques mises à notre disposition, ordinateur, tv (avec netflix), bibliothèque. Plusieurs douches mises à disposition avec shampooing et gel douche. Plusieurs toilettes. Le personnel est incroyablement accueillant, j’ai jamais vu un personnel aussi souriant qu’ici. Merci à vous
• Paulo999888 (10/5): - Another lovely stay...thanks Nothing
• durecu (10/5): -
• jiaxing (10/5): 非常好，希望falo hotel能一直开下去 - 早餐供应充足，位置在市中心附近楼下就是便利店和商场 无
• HANIF (10/5): -
• Patricia Carmen (8/5): Etwas versteckt. Gutes Hostel! - Sehr nette Rezeption! Die Sauberkeit könnte optimiert werden. Vorhänge am Bett wären gut. Ein Schild "Hostel" vor dem Haus wäre super.
• Yeh Cheng (9/5): -
• Stefan (10/5): - Clean and organized hostel. One of the best I have visited. The queen sized beds in the dorm were comfy, with plenty of storage space. The hostel is very clean and gets wiped everyday. The social area is good to meet people, so you may find some friends
• Sebastian (10/5): Just perfect - Everything was absolutely perfect , the hostel is located right in the center but in a quiet area (however near all amenities and a major mall) . Great Indian restaurant just next door, delicious noodle restaurant in the mall. Hostel is super cute and really all details were thought to make your stay enjoyable. It’s social so you can gather but without being noisy so you can rest too. Bedrooms and dorms are just great … the place is spotless clean and beds are really comfy but all this is pointless without mentioning the exceptional staff and especially Lea who has been continuously helping through our journey in Borneo. She contributed to making this trip unforgettable and planned almost all of the great activities we did and transport. This is genuinely the kindest and most efficient team I have seen in a hostel …. A warm thank you , you are great … Shayla and Sebastian Nothing at all
• Isabelle (10/5): Super, j’ai déjà réservé pour mon retour à KK - Super emplacement pas très loin de l’aéroport finalement. Très propre, moderne, clim, plaque pour cuisiner, petit déjeuner, frigo, café. Confortable et personnel super sympa et accueillant On entend peut-être un peu le bruit des avions, mais des bons bouchons et ça passe 😊
• kame (8/5): スタッフは最高で清潔！部屋によっては少しうるさい - スタッフがとてもフレンドリーで親切で良かった。 部屋もとても清潔感があって良かった。 洗面所の前のファミリールームだったのですが、ルールを守らず深夜や早朝にドライヤーをかけたり、大きな声で話す人もいて何度も目が覚めてしまいました。 その分安いので仕方がないとは思いますが...
• Venus Tang (6/5): Good stay - Fast response from the receptionist when I messaged them about the renovation noise in the midnight Renovation noise in midnight by upper floor
• SUSIELYN (10/5): -
• SUSIELYN (10/5): -
• Carolin (10/5): Best hostel - Spotless clean and amazing staff - It's probably the best hostel I've ever stayed in. The late check-in was easy due to the very detailed information and instructions provided. The entire place is spotless clean and the staff is so helpful. Even though the tour I wanted to do was fully booked for my preferred date, they managed to organise an alternate tour provider with a similar offer. And that's the night before I wanted to go. What an amazing support! The street and communal area can get noisy during the night. As a backpacker, I always have earplugs with me, so it was not a big deal for me.
• Mikolaj (9/5): -
• Taeko (5/5): もう少し静かなら良かったです - 全体的に掃除されており清潔でした。 トイレットペーパーやドライヤーもあります。 スタッフは WhatsAppで連絡をやり取りしやすいです。ベッドのすぐ横にロッカーがついてて便利で、コンセントはユニーバーサルタイプでした。 タイミングによりますが、他の宿泊客が共用ロビーで話していて22時をすぎても静かにはなりませんでした。どの部屋もロビーに面してるのでうるさいと思います。ベッドにカーテンがないので眩しいです。トイレとシャワールームが一体型で3つしかないので、混み合ってる時は不便だと思います。

• Bastian Furu (10/5): -
• Cong Xiang (10/5): -
• Carole (10/5): Bright, fresh, modern and bijou. I will return to Faloe Hostel next time I’m back in KK - Spotlessly clean and situated in an incredible shopping mall, this hidden gem is a treasure for travellers to Kota Kinabalu. N/A
• Paulo999888 (10/5): Top class hostel in perfect location - Everything...beds super comfortable...Everything clean and tidy...free toast etc for breakfast...easy late check-in with precise information. Lovely staff...and great communal area. Leaving
• Maik (9/5): -
• Joshinta Jaqueline (8/5): -
• Simone (10/5): Virkelig godt hostel! Vi kommer tilbage :) - Ejerne er virkelig søde og hjælpsomme, og der er en rigtig god atmosfære:)
• Marc (10/5): Best Hostel in KK - Everything was good A bit far from the centre. My room was right in front of the hostel entrance, reception, and dining area, and there was noise very early in the morning.
• Hongren (10/5): - 非常方便 主要是省心 整体干净 住起来也很舒适 除了价格稍微贵一点 感觉没啥毛病 没啥不满意的，就是一点点小贵不是啥问题
• BOYE SHI (9/5): -
• Hsinyi (8/5): - Location is great, very center located Shower room洗澡時有點小積水狀況
• SOLBIN (10/5): -
• Zhaodi (10/5): - 早餐是简单的吐司面包和速溶咖啡或者茶包。楼下走两步就是imago商场，有很多东西可以买。附近有临海的路，适合散步，可以沿着这条路步行去当地市场买水果、手工艺品或者吃海鲜。我最喜欢的一点是这里融洽的氛围。工作人员超级友好，房客们也大多很健谈。一进门是一张大桌子，大家经常坐在一起聊天和分享食物，很容易找到你的旅行搭子。
• FUNG MOI (9/5): -
• JIYONG (9/5): 性价比很高的旅舍 - 位置很好，靠近商圈，交通饮食购物方便。接待员很热心，有问必答。提供早餐。WiFi信号不错。设施比较完善。 高低床的梯子设计有待改进，上下不太方便。床铺边最好设计一个放手机的地方。
• Adama (10/5): Allez s’y les yeux fermés - L’espace, la propreté, le staff 110/10 !! Nadaaaa
• lucia (10/5): -
• Bruno (10/5): Le ragazze sono gentilissime e stupende, posto pulitissimo. Anche impegnandomi non tiewco a trovare difetti, mi hanno te - Tutto Niente😊
• Mara (10/5): - Staff gentile e accogliente Pulito e curato Posizione molto buona
• Caleb (10/5): PERFECT - Great breakfast, host was lovely! Room and bed was perfect and honestly one of our best stays in our 5 months of travelling so far!
• Lee (8/5): - Ok
• JiaYi (10/5): -
• linrui (10/5): -
• Feng Yi (10/5): -
• Qizu (10/5): - 私密性不错，这里的前台小姐超级温柔很有耐心，虽然我英语讲的有点烂，但能看出来他在尽力将她的服务做到极致。我入住的时候，对于浴室和卧室的整洁程度真的有点超出了我的预期。这里的旅客都非常友好大家会相互打招呼，而且非常的有素质，如果想来体验住青旅的感觉我觉得这里真的是不二之选。
• HOWARD wai (9/5): -
• Lea (10/5): - La gentillesse du personnel, les espaces communs super cosy, l’emplacement, tout ! 🤍
• YUANCHENG (9/5): 超出预期 - 地理位置十分便利 有充足的早餐供应 洗衣机洗衣服的时间限制

• R Jagen (10/5): -
• Florence (10/5): -
• Mark (9/5): Perfecte ligging om KK te ontdekken - Het personeel was erg behulpzaam en konden wij ook voorafgaand aan onze aankomst van alles vragen. Ze denken goed mee en hielpen ons met verschillende tours. De ligging is pal naast een groot winkelcentrum met genoeg eetgelegenheden en supermarkten. De kamer is wat je op de fotos ziet, compact en kan een beetje drukkend aanvoelen. De bedden zijn goed en de overige voorzieningen zijn erg modern. Een aanrader om in KK de boel te ontdekken. De kamer kan wat klein of drukkend aanvoelen, maar zoals je dat op de fotos ziet is dit ook wat je van te voren weet.
• Aaron (9/5): Great value and super nice staff - Everything - that’s why we booked the hostel again Nothing
• Aaron (9/5): Great hostel - definitely recommended - Very clean, super friendly staff Nothing
